Following publication of the above article, it came to the authors’ attention that they had incorrectly referred to the minor allele (G) carriers in the study sample as ‘risk genotypes,’ with respect to putative risk for schizophrenia. However, according to the genome-wide association study reported by Ripke et al.,5 it is the major (T) allele that shows association with schizophrenia caseness. The error appears in the Results section in two places: under ‘MIR137 genotype’ (second sentence) and under ‘Prediction of GoM-derived clinical phenotypes’ (last sentence).
